Crimps & Braid??
 

Due to my diabetes my hands are shot and I am not really able to tie knots any longer, and if I can mange to do it, it takes forever to do!

So I was thinking of using crimps, but I am not sure I can hold and thread a crimp and if you can use them on small mono or braid?? Most of my rods have braid and I like to use it.

Thanks just thinking out loud

don't you worry joe, when fluke season rolls around i'll do all the tying you need.

Thanks!! its here!! Just need to get rid of this wind!

braid won't hold in a crimp, but smaller mono works great.

Jinkai make a crimp size K that says its for mono "50lb test and smaller - 0.62 mm and smaller"

hope that helps.

Thanks Jay, I think I will have a snap swivel tied on and just try crimping my leaders.

Joe- if you don't have a crimper, or holding one might be a problem, let me know. I can do a bunch for you and send them to you in no time.

pm me if you want.

Thanks Jay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just bought a crimper today, I would love nothing more then to have someone do them for me, but I want to try to do as much as I can to keep my hands moving some. I feel if I don't keep them moving they will come useless all that much faster.

thanks again!!
